Ancestral Chart of the Family In pocket of cover 



IFntrobuction* 



It is probable that very few people begin more or less ex- 
tended genealogical researches Avitli an adequate notion of 
what lies before them. A rather common curiosity to know 
who are the ancestors of one's self or one's friends, develops 
into a lively interest sosoon as a trail is found and followed. 
Let difficulties arise, however, as they are sure to, and the 
trial of one's wits in the solution of a problem believed to be 
soluble has a fascination which one will hardly believe who 
has not experienced it. 

The present pamphlet makes no claim to originality except 
in the fixing definitely of the lines of descent. Much of the 
information herein contained may be found in other works, 
which have been freely cited, but which are hardly accessible 
outside of a large genealogical library. The library of the 
State Historical Society of Wisconsin, in which most of the 
works cited may be found, is now excelled in the wealth of its 
genealogical works by but two, or at most three, libraries in 
the country. 

The book has two main objects in transcribing and collect- 
ing data, to-wit: first, tO' give the bare vital records, uninter- 
esting as some of them may be, which are necessary to fix 
definitely the lines of descent; and, second, to add biogTaph- 
ical sketches when the matter upon record is sufficiently full 
to allow of it. The length of individual sketches is depend- 
ent, therefore, not alone upon the prominence of the individ- 
ual, but upon the amount of material which the accidents of 
history have left us. It cannot be claimed that the book is alto- 
gether free from errors, though care has been exercised to ex- 



elude them. The material has necessarily been gathered from 
many sources of different degrees of reliability, but some 
judgment has been used in selecting the matter introduced and 
in discarding otlier material. 

For some lines, notably those of Church and Fuller, spe- 
cial investigations have been necessary, and the services of 
Mr. Horace E. Mather of Hartford, Conn., a professional 
genealogist, have been engaged. In some instance's the pa- 
tience of Town Clerks in l^ew England towns has been taxed 
in order to secure the important entries from the official 
records. To Mrs. Sutherland Orr (nee Florence Dean) of 
Ascot, Berks, England, Miss Carolyn Weston of Dalton, Mass., 
and Mrs. M. H. Walker of Green Bay, the compiler is under 
special obligations either for the loan of valuable papers or for 
an opportunity to transcribe genealogical data collected by 
others. 

The greatest difficulties have been encountered in tracing the 
Pomeroys. The data secured are, however, of much interest 
and are given with considerable fulness. The Kimballs first 
settled at Watertown, Mass., and the first Kimball born 
in America was Sarah Kimball, who first saw the light in 1635. 

Of the emigrant male ancestors of the family that have been 
found, fifteen came over before 1630, more than thirty came 
in the 1630's, and only six came later than 1650. Three came 
in the "Mayflower" to Plymouth, to-wit: George Soule, 
Thomas Rogers, and Francis Cooke, the latter an ancestor to 

♦The ancestral chart included in the pocket of the cover was printed 
some months in advance of the book and differs from it in several 
important particulars. In the Atherton lineage the chart gives Cath- 
erine as the daughter of Gen. Atherton who married Timothy Mather. 
This corresponds to the Mather Genealogy and is based upon an old 
chart. This is, however, an error, for Timothy's wife was Elizabeth, 
Atherton. The introduction of the Winslow lineage upon the chart 
through the supposed alliance of Elizabeth Winslow with Gilbert 
Brooks, is authorized by the Winsloiv Memorial and other authorities, 
but recent work shows rather conclusively that the wife of Gilbert 
Brooks was not Elizabeth Winslow. (See Winslow Lineage.) The 
Peter Montague of the chart who married Eleanor Allen and who was 
the father of Richard Montague did not come to America. The Peter 
Montague who went to Virginia was his son. The ancestor of the 
Kingsley line was probably John, not Stephen. 



two distinct lines of the family. All were signers of the 
"Mayflower Compact." In tlie next vessel, the "Fortune," 
came in 1621 Philip De la Noye, the Huguenot Pilgrim, and 
Eobert Hicks. The "Ann," 1623, brought Experience 
Mitcliell and Joshua Pratt. BotJi Mitchell and Hicks were 
like Cooke, ancestors each to two branches of the family. The 
wives and children of a number of Pilgrims came in tlie 
"Fortune" and "Ann." One of the family ancestors, William 
Wadsworth, went to the settlement of the other great English 
colony in Virginia in 1621. Inasmuch, however, as he settled 
Jater in Massachusetts, the family's history is but little con- 
nected with the fortunes of that colony. 

While the majority of the forebears were of that sturdy mid- 
dle class which has always been the strength of the English peo- 
ple, there were several among them who belonged to families of 
distinction at home. Abigail Downing was descended through 
the royal line from William the Conqueror. Her husband, 
Richard Montague, and the ancestor of Nathaniel Dickinson, 
both claimed descent from men who came into England with 
the l^ormans in 1066. The pedigree of John Richmond is also 
traced to one of the leaders under William the Conqueror at 
the battle of Hastings. His grand-daughter, Sarah Richmond, 
was the first of eight Sarahs in the dire'ct line to Winifred 
Sarah Weston Hobbs. Philip de la 'Noje, the Huguenot of 
the Plymouth Colony, was descended from one of the most dis- 
tinguished families of France, the recorded pedigree of which 
extends to Charlemagne, Alfred the Great, and William the 
Conqueror, and includes many of the royal blood. 

From Plymouth and Duxbury the ancestors of Sarah Weston 
emigrated to the west to found Bridgewater and Taunton. 
From tlie Massachusetts Bay Colony the maternal ancestors of 
Alonzo Kimball — ]\father and Stoughton of DorchesteT, Wads- 
worth of Cambridge, Gardner of Gloucester, Fuller and Emer- 
son of Ipswich, and others — all emigrated to Connecticut, 
where they allied themselves with the Churchills, Montagues, 
Dickinsons, Churclies, Smiths, Footes and other prominent

Connecticut families, which played a leading role in the settle- 
ments of Hartford and Wethersfield. W^ien dissension arose 
in church affairs they were the '"withdrawers" who again 
marched away through the forest to found Hadley and Hat- 
field, and eventually to settle much of western Massachusetts. 
This book is published through the generosity of Mr. A. W. 
Ximball, for distribution in the family, in order that the pres- 
ent and future generations may know how goodly is their heri- 
tage in ancestors who have wrought manfully and successfully 
amid privations and sacrifices, and by mighty hammer blows 
have weilded a commonwealth whose foundations of liberty and 
justice are alike our pride and our bulwark. In some sense 
the book is a memorial to the founders of the Green Bay branch 
of the Kimball family. Beside the more or less extended bio- 
graphical sketches of the founders themselves, such sketches 
are included of the deceased members of the families of their 
descendants.

Zbc Ikimball %\ncmc. 

The common ancestor of the great majority of the Kimballs 
in America was Richard Kimball of the parish of Rattlesden, 
county Suffolk, England. The name was originally spelled 
Kemball or Kembolde. The Kemble family seems to have been 
distinct from the Kimball family for the last four centuries, at 
least, and according to Morrison and Sharpies, the family his- 
torians, these families have always been distinct.* 

RiCHAKD^, the immigrant ancestor of the family, was b. 
in England, probably at Rattlesden, County Suffolk. He m. 
Ursula, dan. of Henry Scott. With his wife and eight chil- 
dren he came to America in the ship "Elizabeth," William An- 
drews, Master, in 1634, embarking at Ipswich, England, April 
10th of that year. In the party on the ship was Thomas Scott, 
his wife's brother. Reaching Boston Harbor Richard soon 
went to Watertown and settled there with his family. The 
first Kimball bom in America was Sarah Kimball, dau. of 
Richard^, who first saw the light at Watertown, Mass., 1635. 
She married Edward Allen of Ipswich, Mass., and d. June 12, 
1690. 

By trade Richard was a wheelwright and his services were in 
such demand that he was soon called to leave the Watertown 
settlement and go to Ipswich, where he was given a house lot 
and other privileges on condition that he become the town wheel-

were born. Oct. 23rd, 1661, he m. (2) Mrs. Margaret Dow of 
Hampton, K". H. Richard d. June 22, 1675, aged 80 years and 
over, and his wife d. March 1, 1676. He was very well to do 
for those days, the inventory of his estate amounting to over 
£737, although he had ah'eady given to his numerous children 
at their marriages. 

RiCHAKD^, fourth child and second son of Richard^ and Ur- 
sula, was b. at Rattlesden about 1623 and came to America with 

his father in 1634. He m. (1) Mary , who died Sept. 2, 

1672. He subsequently married (2) Mary (probably 

Mary Gott). He d. 1676, leaving eight children living. He 
was a wheelwright and removed to Wenham, Mass., between 
1652 and 1656. He was selectman of Wenham for twenty 
years. From the circumstance that the inventory of his prop- 
erty at the time of his death show^ed that wages were due him 
from the country, it is probable that he had been engaged in 
the war with the Indians, and ''he was probably with his 
nephew, Caleb Kimball, at the time the latter was killed at 
Bloody Brook."* He had nine children. 

Ensigx Samuel^, second son (and child) of Richard' and 
Mary (1st wife), was b. at Ipswich about 1651 and d. Oct. 3, 
1716. He m. Sept. 20, 1676, Mary, dau. of John and Sarah 
Witt of L}am, Mass. Samuel lived at Wenham and was ensign 
in the militia. He v/as made freeman in 1682 and held the of- 
fices of surveyor, constable, and selectman. 

Ebenezek*, eighth child and fifth son of SamueP and Mary, 
was b. about 1690 and d. at Hopkinton, Mass., 1769. He m. 
June 9, 1712, Elizabeth, dau. of Richard Carr of Salisbury, 
Mass. He lived in Wenham and Beverly, but in 1740 removed 
to Hopkinton, where he lived the residue of his life. His wife 
survived him. He was a yeoman and a mason. His children 
numbered nine, three sons and six daughters.

dover Theological Seminary to prepare for the ministry, but 
was aompelled to abandon his studies in 1839 because of ill 
health. In 1840,* while principal of an academy at Lee, Mass., 
he met and married Sarah, daughter of Rev. Isaiah Weston of 
Dalton, Mass. In 1848 he removed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 
and two years later to Green Bay, Wis. Until 1852 he con- 
tinued to teach, but at that time he established himself in the 
hardware business at Green Bay, which since his death has been 
conducted under the firm name, Alonzo Kimball, by his second 
son, Charles Theodore^. For more than forty years Mr. Kim- 
ball was a deacon in the First Presbyterian church of Green 
Bay, now known as the Union Congregational church. 

In 1890 he celebrated his golden wedding anniversary with 
the united families of his five children. His wife died June 
27, 1891. He d. at Green Bay, Aug. 7, 1900, and Aug. 9th was 
buried from his church home, the Rev. J. M. A. Spence offi- 
ciating. 

The Unionist, a bright Congregational magazine published 
by members of his Green Bay church, says of him : 

''Gifted souls now passed beyond will fill out the measure of 
our testimony in fitting phrase. To them, also, years of asso- 
ciation had made 'Father Kimball' a loving parent in all but tie 
of blood, and though he made few protestations there are many 
who treasure memories of unexpected thoughtfulness and affec- 
tion. 

"In the slight cloud that fell upon the advanced years of our 
friend there was little of real bitterness. Weary and restless, 
sometimes ; lonely, often, there was yet in the very conceits of 
his feebleness a touch of that merry brightness which had al- 
ways made his companionship most enjoyable. 

******** 

"He was a student always ; whether his work as a teacher 
made him fond of the young, or his love of youth made him 
a successful teacher, this thing is certain, he cherished for books 
and children a love that was unusual.

tThe Carr Records print what purport to be extracts from a family

rications that one is surprised to find them printed in the work. They 
make George Carr and wife, Lucinda Davenport, "Mayflower" pilgrims 
and William Carr and wife, "Fortune" pilgrims. It is needless to say 
there is ample evidence that they were not emigrants as stated and 
the attempt to manufacture by supposed family records "Mayflower" 
ancestors cannot be too strongly condemned.

George was granted the largest island in tlie Merrimac for a 
home and a shipyard. This island received the name Carr's 
Island and was for a number of generations the Carr home. Its 
possession gave the family the monopoly of the ferrying busi- 
ness, which at George's death was considered to be worth £400. 
The large house on Carr's Island was destroyed by fire in 1797. 
George d. in Salisbury April 4, 1682 (when his "bro-in-law" 
James Oliver was 64 years old), and his widow Elizabeth fol- 
lowed May 6, 1691. They had ten children, all born in Salis- 
bury.

1642. His nativity is somewhat uncertain and it is not clear 
whether he was the emigrant ancestor. He removed to Med- 
field in 1649. In 1664 he became interested in Mendon, and

River. He built a large dam and mill, the first water power 
grain mill in all those parts. The plantation afterward voted 
him a bounty of fifty acres of land for building and maintain- 
ing the mill. Benjamin was also a public land surveyor. He 
was one of the first selectmen of Mendon and held other oflBces. 
His buildings were all burned by the savages in King Philip's 
War. He fled to Medfield, at which place he probably died.

^be dooU Xineaoe, 

The ancestry of Hannah Cook who in 1671 m. James Albee^ 
at Medfield, has not been ascertained. It seems improbable 
that she had been long a resident of Medfield and it is quite 
likely that she was among those who left tlie outlying settlement 
of Mendon (now Milford) when the threatening attitude of the 
Indians developed in the 1670's. Medfield was settled largely 
from Dedham about 1650. There were no Cooks among its 
earlj- settlers, nor were there indeed among tlie early settlers 
of Dedham. In Mendon (Milford), on the contrary. Cooks 
were very numerous, the greater number being descended from 
"Walter Cook who was of Weymouth in 1643. Benjamin Albee, 
a founder of Milford and the father-in-law of Hannah Cook, 
not only had been a resident of We^anouth, but between 1649 
and 1664 or 1665 he had been a resident of Medfield. Med- 
field was the town through which the Mendon settlers had com- 
munication with the civilization to the east of them, and when 
King Philip's War broke out in 1675 it was to Medfield that 
they fled for refuge. If descended from Walter Cook, Hannah 
must have been his dau., from the early date of her marriage. 
His first dau. and second cliild had that name. Walter was of 
Weymouth in 1643, was admitted freeman in 1653, and settled 
in Mendon as early as 1664.

Dr. Increase ]\Iather^, son of Kev. Richard Mather, and his

well known as to require no treatment here. The English home 
of the family was in Lowton, ^Vin^vick Parish, Lancashire, Eng-

the grandfather, of the American ancestor resided. The fam-

tora Nobis," and sometimes "Virtus Vera Nohilitas Est." 

Althougli the ancestor of the family settled at Dorchester, his 
grandsons removed to Connecticut and founded the Windsor, 
Lyme, and Suffield branches of the Mather family. All the 
Mathers now living are descended from Timothy Mather^ of 
Dorchester, the "Farmer Mather," the other lines having ended 
a,t the death of Samuel Mather, the grandson of Dr. Cotton 
Mather. Many persons claim descent from Dr. Cotton Mather, 
but they are in error, though some are descended from Mathers 
who bore the name of Cotton. 

Rev. Richard^, the American ancestor of the Mathers, was 
b. in Lowton, Winwick Parish, Lancashire, England, in 1596. 
He m. (1) Sept. 29, 1624, Catherine, dau. of Edmund Holt 
of Bury, England, from wliom this branch of the family is de-

Aug. 17, 1635, and settling at Dorchester. The wife Catherine, 
who bore all the children of Rev. Richard Mather, died in 1655, 
and he m. (2) the widow of Rev. John Cotton. All his sons 
who came to mature age, five in number, were ministers, with the 
exception of Timothy, the "Farmer." Timothy's brother, In- 
crease, was the president of Harvard College and a great man 
in the Colony. Richard^ died April 22, 1669. 

Timothy^, second son of Rev. Richard^ and Catherine, was 
b. in Liverpool, England, 1628, and d. in Dorchester, Mass., 
Jan. 14, 1684. He m. (1) Elizabeth, the dau. of Maj. Gen.

and founded the Suffield branch of the Mather family. He rep- 
resented the town of Suffield in Boston for four years in the Gren-

Ma J. Gen. Humphrey^. Thei-e is strangely enough but lit- 
tle known of the antecedents of this eminent man. His name 
first appears on the church records of Dorchester in 
1636. He appears to have come from Winwick parish, 
England, and to have reached Boston in the ship "James," 
Capt. Taylor, Aug. 7, 1635. He was admitted freeman and 
granted lands in Dorchester in 1637. He was Captain of the 
Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company from 1650-1658,

and commenced the first train band formed in Dorchester in 
1644. He commanded the Suffolk Regiment with the title of 
Major General and was the chief military officer in 'New Eng- 
land. He was deputy to the General Court in 1638 and 1641, 
and in 1659 he was chosen Speaker. His wufe was Mary 
Wales. 

He wae much respected for his religious character and pub- 
lic spirit and was often employed by the Colonial Government 
in civil and military matters. He had great skill and experience 
in the treatment of the Indians, and manifested much human- 
ity and sympathy for their ignorant and degraded condition, 
but exercised great energy and decision of character when neces- 
sary. His efforts to instruct them were referred to in the New 
England Confederation, and Eliot applied to him in behalf of 
the Neponsett tribe. He was employed in several expeditions 
against the Narragansett Indians. In 1645 the Commissioners 
of the United Colonies appointed a council of war, with Capt. 
Standish at the head and Leverett and Atherton of Massachu- 
setts and Mason of Connecticut. 

The general's death in southern Boston on Sept. 16, 1661, was 
occasioned by a fall from his horse. On his gravestone is the 
following effusion :

grants to America, 1600-1700, William Wadsworth is associ- 
ated with Daniel Gookin and stands first on the list said to have 
come in the ''Flying Ilarte." With Gookin he took up his set- 
tlement at Xe^vport j^ews. Four months after his arrival, 
Mch. 22nd, 1622, came the sudden attack by the Indians upon 
the plantation in wliicli three hundred and forty-nine of the col- 
onists were massacred. Gookin with his followers, some thirty- 
five in all, would not obey the order of the council to abandon 
the outlying posts but "thought liimself sufficient against what 
could hap^x^n, and so did to his great credit and tlie content of 
his adventures."! William a]^p'^ars to have returned with 
Gookin to England in the "Sea Flower" in July, 1622. In 
1632 William again started for the new world, this time in tlie 
ship "Lion," which reached Boston Sept, 16, 1632. He settled 
in Cambridge with the Rev. Thomas Hooker's company and on

over a hundred miles through a trackless wilderness to found

According to TnunbullJ they drove with them one hundred and 
sixty head of cattle and by the way subsisted on the milk of 
their cows. Making their way through swamps, over hills and 
tlirough dense woods they were nearly a fortnight upon the jour-

when eighty years old. Savage* says of him, "He seems to 
have lived in the highest esteem ; no man more often chosen 
representative, for between Oct., 1656, and May, 1675, hardly 
a year misses his services." It was his son, Capt. Joseph, who 
saved the liberties of Connecticut by carrying away and con- 
cealing in the hollo-w of an oak the Connecticut charter. Gen. 
James S. Wadsworth, the distinguished division commander 
who was killed in the Battle of the Wilderness, was a descendant

^be Dickineon Tlineage. 

The Dickinsons of Xew England are descended from ISTathan- 
iel and Anna Dickinson who settled in Wethersfield in 1636.* 
JSTathaniel's pedigree in England has been traced by Mr. Whar- 
ton Dickinson of Is^ew York City from Walter de Caen, the great 
great grandson of the Scandinavian Rolf or Rollo who overran 
Normandy in 910. Walter de Caen (Walter de Kenson in 
England from the name of his manor in Yorkshire) accompa- 
nied William the Conqueror to England. Erom Walter de 
Kenson the pedigree is traced through a line of freeholders to 
Nathaniel Dickinson, the American ancestor, and the fourteenth 
in descent. The Dickinson anus are: 

Arms: — Azure, a fesse ermine- between two lions passant, or, 
Ceest: — A demi lion rampant perpale erminois et azure. 

JSTathaniel, the ancestor, was b. in Ely, Cambridge, Eng- 
land, in 1600. He m. at East Bergholat, Suffolk, Jan., 1630, 
Anna, widow of William Gull. In 1630 he came in the fleet 
of Gov. Jolm Wintlirop to Salem and settled at Watertown 
where he remained until 1635-36, when he removed to Wethers-- 
field, Ct. In 1659 he went with "the withdrawers" to Hadley, 
Mass., being of the original committee to lay out the town. He 
held many offices both at Wethersfield and Hadley. At the lat- 
ter place he was a member of the Hampshire Troop, an assessor, 
a town magistrate, and of the first Board of Trustees of the Hop- 
kins' Academy. All of his nine sons took an active part in

RiCHAKD^ the emigrant Montague of the New England 
branch of the family, was b. about 1614 in Bovenoy, Parish of 
Burnham, Buckinghamshire, England, where his ancestors had 
resided for several generations. They in turn were descended 
from the Montagus of Normandy through Drogo de Montagu 
(or Monteacuto) who was b. about 1040 and became the trusted 
compa^nion, follower and intimate friend of Robert, Earl of 
Moritan, the favorite brother of William, Duke of Normandy 
(William the Conqueror). The pedigi*ee of the family traced 
from Drogo (1040) is given in the Montague Genealogy.* 

The arms of the family were : 
Argent, three fusils in fess gules, between three pellets (or ogresses). t 

Richard was the son of Peter Montague and Eleanor Allen 
(dau. of William Allen of Burnham, England). It is supposed 
that Ricliard came to America about 1034 with his brother, but 
no record exists earlier than 1646 when he removed with his 
wife from Wells, Me., to Boston. His wife was Abigail, dau. 
of Rev. Dr. Downing of Norwich, Eng. Richard removed in 
1651 to Wethersfield, Conn., and withdreav from there with the 
fifty-nine who founded Hadley, Mass. His dwelling house 
which stood at Hadley for a century and a half was pulled down 
in 1830. He seiwed as selectman and clerk of writs (town 
clerk) and d. at Hadley Dec. 14, 1681. His widow d. Nov. 8, 
1094. During King Philip's War, Richard baked the biscuits

Abigail^ was the dau. of Rev. Dr. Downing, a clergyman of 
ISTorwich, Norfolk Co., England. She is said to have com© to 
America with William Montague, the elder brother of Richard 
of Hadley. There is little room for doubt that on her arrival 
in America she went to the home of her relative Emanuel Do\vn- 
ing in Salem. It was probably here that Richard Montague 
found and married her. It is also probable that the English 
families were acquainted and that William brought her by 
previous arrangement. Sir George Downing, who was with 
Cromwell at the Battle of Worcester and was afterward Scout-

him a deed of the town of Fannington, Ct. This deed was lost,

^be IRoot Xtneage.* 

JoHN^. The first settler is believed to have been the son of 
John and Mary (Russell) Roote of Badby, Northamptonshire, 
England. They were m. in 1600. John, the settler, was b. 
in Badby Feb. 26, 1608. It appears that at the time of his 
emigration to America his father had died and he had been 
living with his uncle, a man of wealth advanced in years and 
perhaps of the nobility. Being a zealous opponent of popery, 
the uncle insisted that John should fight against Charles I. 
in the Parliamentary forces under Cromwell ; but as he was a 
man of peace, the nephew preferred to join a company of Puri- 
tans going to America. On his arrival there in 1640, he went 
at once to Farmington, Ct., and was one of its first settlers. 
Soon after he m. Mary Kilbourn. He d. Aug., 1684 (ae. 76), 
leaving an estate valued at £819. His wife, who was eleven 
years his junior, survived him and d. in 1698. Their children 
were six sons and two daughters. Joim^, who was known as 
"Goodman Rote," subscribed to the articles of settlement of 
Mattatuck, afterward Waterbury, Ct., and in behalf of one of 
his sons was accepted as an original proprietor. He appears 
to have been a man of prominence, and was chosen "one of the 
committee, in 1677, to take into consideration the expediency 
of changing the village site." Hon. Elihu Root, Secretary of 
War under McKinley and Roosevelt, is eighth in descent from

accepted as an original proprietor of Waterbury, Ct., but it 
is probable that the son never lived there. He lived at West-

Edmund Weston^, the American progenitor of this branch 
of the family, came to Boston in the ship "Elizabeth and Ann," 
and settled in Diixbury in the Plymouth Colony in 1635. In 
the passenger list his age is given as thirty years. There is a 
tradition that in England he was a thresher of grain. Soon 
after coming to Duxbnry he entered himself as an apprentice to 
John Winslow and N'athaniel Thomas, and in 1639 formed a 
copartnership with John Carver for planting and farming. In 
1640 he had a grant from the Colony of four acres at Stony 
Brook, Duxbury, and a tract of land near Green Harbor. In 
1643 he was one of the men who were enrolled to bear arms. 
In 1652 he was a surveyor of highways, and from this time his 
name frequently appears in connection with town affairs and in 
various public matters. Justin Winsor, late librarian of Har- 
vard University, in his History of Duxbury, speaks of Edmund 
Weston as "the enterprising ancestor of an enterprising family 
whose descendants have been numerous, and most of them have 
resided in town." He married a De la Noye (Delano). t 

A copy of Edmund Weston's will is found in the early rec-

held in the family that it probably rests on a fairly secure foundation. 
The records in Duxbury which would probably show this marriage, were 
destroyed by fire in the early part of the 17th century. She must have 
been a daughter of De la Noye, the Huguenot, who in 1621 founded 
the American family of Delano. The European as well as the Ameri- 
can ancestry of this distinguished Huguenot family has been published 
under the title, "The Genealogy, History and Alliances of the Ameri-

SAKAH'^^ the younijcst child of Rev. Isaiah'"' and Sarah, was 
b. in New Bedford, Mass., Aug. 17, 1811, and d. at Green Bay, 
Wisconsin, June 27, 1891. A twin sister who died in infancy, 
had borne the name of Sarah, and at her death, not wishing to 
loose the old family name which had already passed through five 
generations, this surviving daughter was christened Sarah in- 
stead of Mary, as was first intended. 

When only ten years old she became an orphan, her mother 
having died in 1818, and the father who had been considerably 
broken in health, survived his wife but three years. A portion 
of her girlhood days was passed in the families of her brothers 
Grenville I)., Franklin, Isaiah and Josiah, all of whom grew to 
manhood; and at Hadley and Westfield, where were some of 
the best schools of the day. Her mind was keen, and she was 
especially appreciative of what was best in literature. She de- 
veloped also marked artistic ability, and some of her paintings 
and exquisite embroideries and tapestries are treasured posses- 
sions of children and grandchildren today. 

On October 1, 1810, she was married to Alonzo Kimball at 
Hudson, New York. The early years of their married life 
were passed at Lee, Mass., where as principal of a boys' acad- 
emy, Mr. Kimball fitted many a lad for college. Here two 
children were born, Mary C^ornelia (Mrs. M. H. Walker) and 
Alonzo Weston. Their second son, Charles Theodore, was bom 
during a brief residence at Dalton, Mass. In 1848 they re- 
moved to Wisconsin, where more than forty years of her life 
were passed in the old historic town of Green Bay. Soon after 
coming to her new home, she united with the First Presbyterian 
•church, now the Union Congregational church, and always bore 
an active part in the work of the society so long as health and 
strength v/ere hers. During the last eleven years of her life 
•she was an invalid, the result of a severe stroke of paralysis, 
from which she never recovered. From her invalid chair she 
was an interested spectator of all that passed about her, and 
when in the autumn of 1800 the golden wedding anniversary 
■was celebrated with husband, children and grandchildren about 



46 

her, she was filled with pride and contentment that she had been 
permitted to live to see this day. 

We know that for a time life in this new western country was 
filled with many unaccustomed hardships, but these early years 
of self-sacrificing devotion served to develop a strong and noble 
womanhood, and have won from her children a lasting debt of 
affectionate gratitude.

flower Pilgrims, and the thirty-fiftli signer of the famous so- 
cia] compact. 

George^ came to this country a minor, for we find him en- 
tered in the list of "Mayflower" passengers as an apprentice of 
Gov. Edward Winslow of Plymouth, and later as living in his 
family. It is quite probable that he came in common with 
others of that religious band from the quarter of England 
which is today recognized as the cradle of the Dissenters, — the 
point of junction of the three counties of York, Lincoln, and 
Nottingham. 

How long the relations of apprenticeship to the Governor 
continued is not known, but as early as 1623 he was granted in 
his own right one acre of land "on the south side of the brooke 
to the baywards,"* and in 1627, in the division of cattle, was 
allotted "one of the 4 black Heyfers that came in the Jacob, 
caled the smoothe horned Heyfer, and. two shee goats." In 
1663 he became a freeman of the Colony, and was taxed that 
year 9s for his share in the current expeiiises of their simple 
government. He had by that time married, and built a house, 
as his wife, Mary Beckett, was one of the passengers in the 
"Ann" and her consorts of 1623, ^*n company with Barbara 
Standish and Patience and Fear Brewster. 

His house and lot was near Eel River at first, but at sundry 
times he had subsequent grants at Powder Point and "ye water- 
ing place," but these possessions were sold in 1638, when, with 
Capt. Myles Standish and others, he removed across the bay 
to Duxbury, to found that town. This place then became his 
permanent residence, and, besides acting as one of the earliest 
selectmen, often re-elected, he represented the town in the Gen- 
eral Court of Plymouth Colony in 1642, '45, '46, '50, '51, '53, 
and '54, having for colleagues, Alden, Southworth, Pabodie and 
StaiT. A record shows that he and Anthony Thatcher "were 
shosen a committee to draw up an order concerning disorderly 
drinking of tobacco." He was one of the petitioners for a 
church in Duxbury and one of the original company for a canal 

*Plymouth Col. Rec, XII, 4.

across the isthmus of Cape Cod. When Bridgewater was set 
off from Diixbury he was one of the original proprietors of the 
town, but soon disposed of his rights and subsequently became 
one of the earliest purchasers of Dartmouth and Middle]>oro'. 
He thus became an original proprietor in the foundation of four 
new settlements, an evidence of his enterprise and thrift. 

During the trouble with the Pequot Indians (1637) he was 
a volunteer, and five years later, when the plot of Miantonomah 
was discovered, he was put on the conunittee "for offensive and 
defensive warr." 

But one record is found of his appearance in court, as a party 
to an action to convince the jury of the righteousness of his 
ease, and he obtained a verdict. This was in January, 1637, 
when he sued and was sued by x^athaniel Thomas to obtain 
control of some heifers. On March 1, 1658-9, Goodwife Mary 
Soule was indicted for absence from church, but that was a 
common charge against the saints of those times. 

Without enumerating the various minor offices which he 
filled, it Avill be sufficient to refer to one important duty to 
which he was assigned in company with Governors Prince and 
Winslow and Constant Southworth, — the revision of the Colony 
laws, which must have been a work requiring more than ordi- 
nary ability. 

Winsor* says of him : "Though not a man distinguished in 
the government of the colony, yet he was of essential service in 
bis town, . . . holding office to which he could not have 
been elevated had he not been a man of integrity and probity." 
The History of Plymouth Colony/^ article Duxbury, says: 
"Among the earlier settlers of this town were some of the ablest 
men in the colony, including John Alden, William Brewster, 
Governor Thomas Prince and George Soule," and, to the same 
effect, an article on the "Standish House," in Duxbury,| thus 
discourses : "In this house on Captain's Hill, Standish removed 
after his second marriage, and here he drew around him a de-

voted class of friends, among whom were Elder Brewster, John 
Alden, George Soule," and others. 

George Soule had at least eight children whose names have 
come down to ns, all born before 1650, for in Bradford's His- 
tory of Plymouth Plantations,* of that date, it is stated 
that, — "Georg Sowle is still living and hath 8 childre(n)." 
The order of their births is not known. His wife Mary died 
in 1677, and his death occurred in 1680, being "very aged," as 
the Colony records state. He outlived nearly all of the ''■]\Iay- 
llower" Pilgrims, his old friend and companion, John Alden, 
surviving him, however, by more than seven years. A gonrd 
which belonged to him may be seen among the relics in Memor- 
ial Hall, Plymouth. 

John", son of George^ and Mary, was born about 1632, and 
in the will of his fatherf is called "eldest son . . . who 
hath in my extreme old age and weaknes ben tender and care^- 
ful to mee and very hcalpful to mee." He was made a free- 
man in 1653, in which year he became involved in a quarrel 
with "Kenelm Winslow "for speakeing falsly of and scandalicing 
his daughter in carying diuers falce reports betwixt Josias 
Standish and her." After various devices of delay he was fined, 
June 8, 1654, £10 and costs in a suit of defamation for £200.t 
During the excitement against the Quakers he was fined, Oct. 2, 
1660, for attending their meetings. He was surveyor of high- 
ways, 1672, 1694; grand jurjanan, 1675-6-7-8; '82-3; arbitra- 
tor between Marshfield and Duxbury, and Plymouth and Dux- 
bury, 1698, involving land disputes; witness to the Indian deed 
of Bridgewater, dated Dec. 23, 1686 ; he joined also in a remon- 
strance against increasing the salary of Rev. Ichabod Wiswell. 
He w^as administrator of the estate of Samuel Chandler, 1683, 
and the same year chosen guardian for John Simmons and 
Samuel Sampson, minors. 

It has long been supposed that he married Hester De La 
Noye, dau. of Philip De La N'oye (Delano), but it has re-

Lieut. Samuel ISTash. John d. in 1707, aged 75 years. 
Among the items in the inventory of his property we find 
a library mentioned, a rare thing in those times, except in 
the case of ministers, and it shows him to have been a man of 
literary tastes and undoubtedly of a cultivated mind. 

Rebecca^, the dau. of John- and Hester, was b. about 1657.

Z\)c poinero^ XincaGC. 

The determination of the name and ancestry of the mother of 
Rev. Isaiah Weston has offered great difficulties for the geneal- 
ogists who have given it their attention. As regards the evi- 
dence now in print, Mr. Thomas Weston, Jr., Esq., in The De- 
5 



54 

scendants of Edmund Weston of Duxhurij,'^ states that Zach- 
ariah Weston,* the father of Isaiah, married as second wife 
Sarah Pomerov, daughter of "Dr. Pomeroy of Middlehoro', 
and gives Isaiah as their first child, h. in 1770. He also gives 
Zachariah, Jr., as the third child of Zachariah by his lirst wife 
and states that he married Sarah Wood. 

A personal letter from Mr. Weston, the author of the geneal- 
ogy, states that his father, Mr. Thomas Weston of Middle- 
horo' (d. 1834), who was particularly well informed regarding 
his family history, w^as authority for the statement that Zach- 
ariah Sr.'s wife was Sarah Pomeroy. 

In the Biographical Account of Dv. John Pomeroy, Dr. 
Samuel W. Thayer states that the paternal grandfather of this 
eminent Vermont surgeon Avas a deacon in the church of Middle- 
horo', Mass., and that he had a son Francis, the father of the 
surgeon, who m. Sarah ISTye about 1763 and settled in Middle- 
horo' ; further that the deacon had three daughters, one of 
whom married a Bradford, another a Weston, and the third died 
unmarried.! 

An unpublished genealogical chart in the possession of Mrs. 
Byron Weston of Dalton, Mass. (prepared by the late Chas. 
L. Shaw, the genealogist of the family), states that the 
second wife of Zachariah Weston^ was Sarah Pomeroy, daugh- 
ter of Dea. Pomeroy. When the town records are consulted the 
difficulties appear. Mr. Amos H. Eaton, the town clerk of Mid- 
dlehoro', reports that the only marriage record of a Pomeroy 
upon his books is that of Susanna Pomeroy to Philip ISTye in 
1768. In the Early Massachusetts Marriages, edited by 
Frederick W. Bailey, which are copied from the returns of 
marriages to the court of Plymouth county, I find an additional 
entry Avhich is of great value, to wit : the marriage of Manassah 
Wood and Sarah Pomeroy at Middlehoro' on July 27, 1756.$ 
There is no record of the death of Manassah Wood in ]\Iiddle-

boro' records, nor is liis gravestone inscription inckided in tlie 
collection of 18,000 or more wlncli ISlr. Charles M. Thatcher has 
made from the cemeteries of Middleboro' and vicinity. He was 
not a member of the First Church of Middlehoro'. The records 
of Plymouth county, however, show that the estate of Manassali 
Wood of Middlehoro' was settled in ITG-i, in which year ISTathan- 
iel Wood was appointed administrator. There was no will, but 
the account filed by tlie administrator mentions a widow and five 
children, whose names are not mentioned. In 177-4 a guardian 
was appointed for Pelham, TsTichols, Manassah, Thomas, and 
Sarah, children of Manassah Wood of Middlehoro', the two first 
named being above the age of fourteen years. 

In tlie Middlehoro' records are the following entries : 

"1770, September 15. Then I published a purpose of mar- 
riage betvv'een Mr. Zachariah Weston and Mrs. Sarah Wood, 
both of Middlehoro'. Pr. John Morton, Town Clerk."* 

"Dec. Gth, 1770. Zachariah Weston and Sarah Wood, both 
of Middlehoro wr married by me Silvanus Conant."f 

The estate of Zachariah Weston (Division of Dower) was set- 
tled in 1794. He left a widow Sarah and seven children, 
among whom were Isaiah and Sarah (Perkins). There is 
no town record of the death of Sarah Weston nor is her 
tombstone inscription in the collection of Mr. Thatcher, and 
the only record of her death which has been found is the letter 
granted the administrator of her estate in Plymouth County 
Probate Records. As Xichols Wood was appointed administra- 
tor, Feb. 25, 170r», she probably died shortly before that date. 
Her second husband, Zachariah Weston, is buried beside his 
first wife Rebecca Standish, in the Middlehoro' Green Cemetery, 
and it is probable that Sarah Weston is buried beside her first 
husband, Manassah Wood, both Vv-ithout stones. 

It would thus seem to admit of little doubt that Sarah Pom-

No other Pomeroys are of record in these towns and it is

Wood in 1756 and Zachariah Weston in 1770, was an older sis- 
ter of Susannah, as Thayer§ says there were three daughters 
and one married a Weston. She could hardly have been younger

than Francis as she M'onld in that case have been but fifteen 
years of age wlieii she ni. Manassah Wood ; bnt if ohler we 
should not expect her birth to be at Halifax, since the records 
of church and town begin less than a year before the birth of 
Susannah. 

The town from which Francis, Sr., emigrated to Halifax it is 
difficult to determine. The descendants of Eltweed of Dor- 
chester early emigrated to the Connecticut Valley, and the only 
one who is known to have subsequently found his way to eastern 
Massachusetts in early Colonial days is Joshua^ (Joshua^, Elt- 
weed^) who, with wife Esther, was made captive by the Indians 
in the attack upon Deerfield in 1704. His subsequent appear- 
ance in Dorchester in 1706 and his later history the compiler 
has traced to his decease at ISTorton in 1750, and it seems clear 
that he can not have been an ancestor of Francis of Halifax. 
Thayer states that there is a tradition that the great grandfather 
of Dr. John Pomeroy (the father of Francis, Sr.) came from 
France, but in view of the fact that all Pomeroys doubtless 
came originally from that country, the statement has but little 
value, particularly as inaccuries occur in Thayer's account. 

There is now in tlie possession of ]\lrs. Ellen D. Brown, of 
Burlington, Vt., an old print of Pomeroy Castle in Devon- 
shire, which John Norton Pomeroy, greatgrandson of Francis 
Sr. of Halifax, told his grandchildren was the home of his an- 
cestors. This family heirloom has been treasured at Fern Hill, 
the Vermont home of the Pomeroy family, to which they emi- 
grated from jMiddleboro' shortly after the Kevolutionary war. 
The magnificent ruins of Berry Pomeroy Castle, the finest in 
Devonshire, stand in the midst of a thick wood near Totnes. 
The manor of Beri was given with fifty-seven others by William 
the Conqueror to his follower, Ralph de Pomeroy, whose former 
castle had been, it is said, at Cinglais, near Falaise, in K'or- 
mandy. This family of nobles maintained their lands at Berry 
until Sir Thomas, who had served with distinction in France 
in 1549, led an insurrection caused by an act reforming the 
church service. After a month of resistance, during which he 



58 

besieged Exeter, he was at last defeated by a strong force un- 
der Lord Russell. Sir Thomas escaped with the loss of his 
lands, which afterwards came into the' possession of Lord Ed- 
w^ard Seymour, son of the Protector. 

According to Mackenzie, the descendants of Sir Thomas re- 
sided in the parish of Llarberton till the beginning of the eight- 
eenth century.* According to Tuckettf it would appear that 
Sir Thomas had one son, Thomas, whose sons were Valentine, 
Edward, and John, all living at the time of the Herald's Visita- 
tion in 1620. But Thomas, Jr., son of Sir Thomas, is given 
as of Binglcy near Leeds. The English records should be e'x- 
amined to learn all the descendants of Sir Thomas who lived 
between 1549 and 108-4 and to determine if possible whether 
any emigrated to America. 

The only Pomeroys that are found of record in Eastern 
Massachusetts previous to 1735, Avith the exception of Eltweed's 
family, were resident in Boston. The only one who bore tlie 
name Francis resided in 1711 near or at the corner of Fish 
Street and Wood Lane in Boston, as is shown by the fact that 
he was assessed £1 12s. 6d. for a sea wall which drained his cel- 
lar in common with those of othersljl. He had married Me- 
hitable Orchard Feb. 7, 1694. Mehitable Pomeroy, presum- 
ably the same, was July 18, 1701, granted by the Selectmen of 
Boston the privilege of keeping a victualling house and to sell 
beer and cider. § These are the only certain references to the 
immediate family of Francis, though it is probably that he was 
the "Mr. Pomeroy" who in 1733 was assessed £8 for repairs to 
the town pump, which he in common with others used. This 
Francis, if the Francis, Sr. of Halifax, 1735, as seems not un- 
likely, had at that time remarried, as the mother of the chil- 
dren of his old age was Hannah. 

The earliest American record of a Pomeroy not connected 
■with the family of Eltweed in Dorchester is of John Pomeroy of

Boston, whose wife was Sarah and who had Sarah, b. June 21, 
1GS4-. The most probable theory of the descent of Sarah Pom- 
eroy of Middleboro' is that the above John was the emigrant who 
brought his wife Sarah and certain children to America wnth 
him. Among those who may have been his children (per- 
haps in part brothers or cousins) are Edw^ard, who was an in- 
habitant of Boston in 1G95, Francis who was several times men- 
tioned in Boston records in 1694 and later, Joseph wdio married 
in 1723 Mary Maycom aiid w^as Constable of Boston in 1730, 
and the John who was a shipwright and in 1690 put to sea, mak- 
ing his will in favor of Mary Brookings (as Savage surmises, 
probably his sweetheart). Among the probable daughters who 
may have accompanied him to America are Rachel, who m. j^ov. 
11, 1714, Thomas Frank, and Mary, whose purpose of marriage 
with Samuel x\vis of Boston w^as published in 1696. The prob- 
ability that the John who was lost at sea before' 1691 (when 
Mary Brookings received his property) was a son of John^, 
makes it likely that the John who by wife Lydia had in Boston 
John (b. 'Nov. 20, 1712), Thomas (b. April 5, 1715), Lydia 
(b. Aug. 25, 1717), Mary (b. Aug. 16, 1722), and Samuel (b, 
Aug. 4, 1730) was the original emigrant remarried or a nephew. 
The evidence is supported so far as this is possible by the recur- 
rences of the names John and Sarah, the presumptive emigrants, 
in the children of the first generation and in the descendants of 
Francis of Halifax and Middleboro'. It is hoped that any evi- 
dence bearing on this question may be preserved and collected so 
that the ancestors of the Middleboro' Pomeroys may be definitely 
determined.* 



*The missing links of the chain are with little doubt contained in 
the records of the First Church of Middleboro. which are in the cus- 
tody of the pastor. All attempts to induce him to examine them or 
allow them to be examined have availed nothing.

^be Dean %incnQC. 

This line is descended from John Dean (Deane) who with 
his brother, Walter, came to this conntry in 1637, with little 
doubt from Chard near Tannton, Somersetshire, England. 
It has been supposed that they were descended from the Deanes 
of Denelands, but all attempts to fix definitely their ancestry 
have thus far yielded no positive data. The brothers, accord- 
ing to a record in the possession of ]\Irs. Orr (nee Florence 
Dean), settled at Cohannet (?) 1637, and at Taunton, ]\Iass., 
in 1639. Rev. Samuel Deane of Scituate is authority for the 
statement that they stopped nearly or quite a year at Dorchester 
before going to Taunton. They were among the very first set- 
tlers of Taunton and took up their farms on the west bank of 
the river, about one mile from the center of the present village. 
"What is known or sunnised about the ancestry of John and 
Walter has been put upon record.* 

JoHN^, common ancestor of the Taunton Deans, was b. about 
1600, having died between April 25 and June 7, 1660, "aged 
sixty years or thereabouts." His wife, Alice, survived him 
and was probably living as late as 1668 (from Plymouth Court 
records). His strong Puritan faith is well brought out in an 
item of his will : 

"Item, My will is tiiat these my Overseers with the Consent of my 
Wife shall in Case heer be no Settled Ministry in Taunton; they shall

This branch of the Leonard family is noted alike for its con- 
nection with the development of the American iron industry, 
its friendly relations with the Indians, its military prominence, 
and its longevity. It is descended from Thomas Leonard, 
whom we know only by name, since he did not emigrate to 
America. An account of the family in America down to 1790 
is believed to have been the first family genealogy of any impor- 
tance printed in IsTew England.* It is by Eev. Peres Fobes, 
LL. D., pastor of the Congregational church in Raynliam, 
Mass., who was connected by marriage with the family. 

According to Dr. Fobes, the brothers, James and Henry Leon- 
ard, came at an early date to Kew England from Pontypool, 
county Monmouth, Wales, a place celebrated for its working of 
iron. It is supposed also that they had some claim to the owner- 
ship of iron works at Bilston, county Stafford, England. James 
was at Lynn as early as 1G51, where, and at Braintree, iron 
works were early established under a special monopoly by 
grant from the Massachusetts Colony. He and his brother 
Henry were skilled workmen. The second iron enterprise un- 
dertaken in ilN'ew England embraced a furnace and forge at 
Braintree, about ten miles from Boston. Llenry Leonard as- 
sisted by his brother James, is said to have superintended the 
erection of the Braintree works. In 1653 James removed to

account has been printed by Wm. R. Deane, N. E. Hist, and Genealog. 
Reg., Vol. V (1851), p. 403; and Vol. VII (1853), p. 71; also published 
separately as "A Genealogical Memoir of the Leonard Family." It is 
understood that Mr. Elisha Clark Leonard, who d. in New Bedford, 
Mass., Sept. 7, 1894, left in MS. a large amount of genealogical and his- 
Ical matter pertaining to the Leonard Family of Taunton. It is to be 
hoped that this matter will soon be printed.

TaiTiitoii. Henry, liis brother, was aftenvards at Eowley, 
where lie carried on the iron works, but left about 1674 for 
]S[ew Jersey, where he established the iron manufacture of that 
state. The brothers established the forge at Taunton (now 
Eaynham), probably near 1652, as appears from a record in the 
tovm book, which grants ITenry and James Leonard with Ealph 
Eussell, consent to join with "certain of our inhabitants to set 
up a bloomery work on the Two Mile Eiver." So extensive 
were the interests of the Leonards in iron works that it used to 
be said : "Where you can find iron works there you will find 
a Leonard." The forge established at Eaynham was the 
earliest in the old colony, and the oldest successful smelter in 
America.* 

James Leonard, the progenitor of the Taunton and Eaynham 
Leonards, and his sons often traded with the Indians and es- 
tablished such friendships that when the war came, King Philip 
gave strict orders to his men that the Leonards be not harmed. 
King Philip's summer residence was at Eaynham, only about 
a mile from the forge. 

In 1665, King Philip gave to James Leonard the deed for a 
neck of land embracing about one hundred and fifty acres, "ly- 
ing by Mr, Brinton's land at Metapoyset, being bounded on 
each side by a brook," it being the intention of Mr. Leonard to 
"set up a mill or iron work if occasion were." This deed was 
not, however, confirmed by the colonial authorities and so the 
chieftain's gift could not be utilized. f 

The old Leonard House, which stood by the forge, was begun 
probably about 1670 and had been occupied by the family down 
to the seventh generation. When demolished about the middle 
of the lOtli century, it was probably the oldest mansion in ^ew 
England, if not in the country. It was apparently modeled 
after an English fashion of the 18th century, modified for de^ 
fense against the Indians. In the cellar was deposited for some 
time the head of King Philip.

It has been supposed that the Leonards are of the family of 
Lennard Lord Dacve, a distinguished family of nobility in the 
United Kingdom and descended in two lines from Edward III., 
through two of his sons, John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, 
and Thomas Plantagenet, Duke of Gloucester, Leonard being 
undoubtedly the equivalent of Lennard, and the arms similar, 
but no proof has been adduced. 

The arms of the Leonards are thus described : — 

Arms: — Or, on a fesse azure three fleur de lis Argent. 
Crest: — Out of a ducal coronet, Or, a tiger's head Argent. 

The arms of the Lennards (Lord Dacre) are very similar. 

Arms: — Or, on a fesse gules three fleur de lis of the first or field. 
Crest: — Out of a ducal coronet, Or, a tiger's head Argent. 

Some indication of the longevity of the family, as well as of 
its activity in military affairs, at the bench and bar, and in af- 
fairs of state, is afforded by the data which are found in the 
Genealogical Memoir of the Leonard family by W. R. Deane. 

Ja]mes^, first son of Thomas Leonard, was the emigrant an- 
cestor and was at Lynn in 1651, Braintree in 1652, and 
settled at Taunton in 1652. The forge which he and his 
brother erected at Kaynham doubtless became soon after the 
principal one in America. His wife, Margaret, survived him 
and d. about 1701. He was dead in 1691. He may have been 
a brother of Solomon Leonard of Duxbur}", since Dr. Fobes 
gives the names of two brothers and mentions a third.

The "Washburns are descended from the Evesham branch of 
the English Washboiirne family, which with the Wickenford 
branch comes from the Difford and Great Washbonrne family. 
In Herald's College, London, Vol. I, p. 54, is given : "Wash- 
BOUENE. A name of ancient Norman descent; the founder 
was knighted on the field of battle by William the Conqueror 
and endowed with the lands of Little AVashlx»ume and Great 
Washbourne, Counties of Gloucester and Worcester." The earl-

1631. His wife. Margery , aged 49, and two sons 

joined him there in 1635. In 1634 he purchased Edward Bom- 
passe's place called "Eagle's JSTest." With his son John he was

Francis.^ The ancestors of Francis Cooke, the seventeenth 
signer of the Compact in the cabin of the "Mayflower," were 
from Scrooby, England, the home of the Separatists. Francis 
appears in the list of those designated as "exiles from Scrooby." 
He joined Brewster and Bradford in worship there, went with 
them to Leyden, and eventually to Plymouth. Francis was b. 
subsequent to August, 1583. In Holland he was an inmate 
of the home of Pastor Eobinson, This house Avas also the 
meeting place for their religious services, and to these serv- 
ices came Hester (a Walloon from the southern 

province of Belgium) to whom Francis was subsequently 
married. t When the "Speedwell" was compelled to turn 
back, Hester Cooke, the ^ife, was left behind in "charge 
of many yonge children," to follow at the first opportunity. 
One only, John, went with his father. The mother and remain- 
ing portion of the family came to Pljinouth in the "Ann" in 
1623. In Plymouth the house of Francis Cooke was on Ley- 
den St., adjoining the residences of Gov. Edward Winslow and 
Isaac Allerton.

were recalled by an alarm at the approach of Indians, who did 
no damage except to carry oif the tools, and these they subse- 
quently returned. 

When the reinforcements came in the "Ann" in 1623, expan- 
sion was necessary and Francis Cooke deserted the sterile soil 
of Plymouth for Eocky IN'ook on James Eiver within the limits 
of Kingston. He was made freeman in 1633, and in 1634 ref-

ere© in the settlement of various affairs between members of tbe 
Colony. In 1640, with his son John, he received a large grant 
of land ''bounding on the North River," and between 1642 and 
1648 this was followed by the grant of land at "a Medden" by 
James River, In 1662, wnth his son John, he was allowed to 
settle upon a tract purchased for a new settlement — New Bed- 
ford. There is no record that he settled there, as he died Tues- 
day, April 7/17, 1663,, aged 87 years. Bradford states that he 
lived to see ''his children's children have children." 

Prior to 1645 when Francis Cooke's active life seems to have 
come to an end, there was scarcely a year in which he did not 
serve in some official capacity; but after 1645 he was engaged 
in public duty but three times. He was one of the purchasers 
who in 1627 bought all the rights of the "Adventurers" (See p. 
27). He was frequently juryman, arbitrator, and surveyor of 
highways.

ger in the "Ann" in 1623. He was one of the founders of

Duxbury in 1643. He became one of the original proprietors 
and settlers of West Bridgewater in 1651. He was young 
when he came over and, it is said, lived in the family of Capt. 
Myles Standish. He was one of the first military officers of 
Bridgewater and a man of much influence. He was licensed to

inan who betrayed his trust, robbed him of his money and sent 
him to the West Indies. Here he was sold to service to pay his

children, bom between 1678 and about 1700. He and his wife 
were the eldest and first named members of the church first in- 
stituted in East Bridgewater in 1724. Both died in 1727. 
Capt. !N^icholas is said to have been distinguished for bravery in 
the Indian War, He is said to have been one of a party of 
nineteen men who surprised a party of five hundred Indians 
and captured forty of them, with much booty, without the loss 
of a man.

value at East Bridgewater, but these he sold and with all his 
children went to Mendham in Morris county, 'N. J., about 1744. 
He there kept the Black Horse Tavern, became a major of mili- 
tia and judge of the county court. He died in 1753, aged 61. 

Rev. Eeiab"*, son of Ebenezer^ and Hannah, was b. Dec. 4, 
1718. He was graduated from Harvard University in 1740, a 
member of the same class as Samuel Adams of Revolutionary 
fame, who became governor of Massachusetts. He studied 
divinity and commenced his ministry in North Middleboro', 
Mass., but subsequently settled in Mendham, 'N. J,, where he 
remained about eight years. He was some time a missionary 
at Piles Grove. He was on a journey to the Susquehanna In- 
dians with the celebrated David Brainard when Mr. Brainard's 
mare broke her leg at a point thirty miles from any house.f 
Under date of Oct. 1, 1744 that distinguished missionary wrote 
in his journal as folloAvs : 

"Was engaged this day in making preparations for my intended jour-

to me. I saw him, as I thought, more dead to the world, its anxious 
cares and alluring objects, than I was, and this made me look within 
myself, and gave me a greater sense of my guilt, ingratitude and 
misery. 

"October 2. Set out on my journey in company with dear Brother 
Byram and my interpreter and two chief Indians from the Forks of 
Delaware. Traveled about twenty-five miles and lodged in one of the

Abraham Shaw^, the emigrant, was freeman at Dedham in 
1637. ISTicholas Byram was one of the witnesses to the inven- 
tory of his property taken in 1638, presumably after his death. 
No wife is recorded, so it is assumed she was dead before he 
came over. He had four children. His will in Boston records 
is without date. Much confusion has arisen in regard to the 
early generations of Shaws, owing to the recurrence of names ;

JoHN'% the ancestor, was one of the earliest settlers of the 
town of Weymouth having arrived some months and probably a 
year or more prior to December, 1638, at which time he was 
made a freeman. In 1642 he received an allotment of land in 
Weymouth. In 1645 he was by the Governor and assistants ap- 
pointed an Ensign, probably the first military appointment in 
the town. This office he held until March 16, 1680, He was 
deacon in the Weymouth church, probably from its first estab- 
lishment until his death. There are on record many transfers 
of real estate in which John Whitman was concerned, and he

acres of land in "Braintry" to William Hayward and bears 
date of March 19, 1648. (See p. 14.) He was by the Gen- 
eral Court in 1664 allowed four shillings a day "for his paynes" 
and use of "his horse in ye journey he was employed in for the 
countrye's services to the ISTarrowgansetts." In 1645 and 1646 
the Court authorized John Whitman with others to end small 
causes and controversies at Weymouth. 

It is probable that John was b. about 1602 and that he lived 
little, if any, short of ninety years. His death occurred 'Nov. 
13, 1692. His oldest son Thomas was b. in 1629. John m. 
in England probably about 1625. He came to America before 
1638 leaving his wife, whose name was probably Ruth, and sev- 
eral children n England. There is a tradition that they joined 
him in 1641. Of the four sons and five daughters six lived 
to be over eighty.

of himself and vdie, George Soule, a boy, Elias Story, and a girl 
Ellen Moore. Of the five the future governor and George Soule 
(see p. 47) were the only ones to survive the winter. Eliza- 
beth, the wife, passed away on the 24th of March, 1621. On the 
12th of May following Edward m. Mrs. Susanna (Fuller) 
White, whose babe, Perigrine^ White, then five months old, was 
bom on the ''Mayflower," and whose husband, William White, 
had died but a month or two earlier. Some explanation of the 
apparent haste of each party to the marriage in renewing mari- 
tal relations may be found in the unprotected condition of the 
mother and child and the cruel necessities of the time, which 
crowded one hundred and two persons into nineteen houses of 
one room each. This marriage was the first in ISTew England 
and being a civil one before a Magistrate (Bradford) — then 
contrary to English law — was in some sense a declaration of 
rights on the part of the colonists.

Winslow was of better family than the other colonists and 
partly on this account and partly because of his sagacity and 
intellectual poAver, he was always regarded with more than 
ordinary respect by the colony. From the start he was the dip- 
lomatist of the infant state. He was the envoy to Massasoit on 
more than one occasion, and by curing him of a severe illnesa 
secured to the colonists a life long friend and peace with the 
tribe during the chief's lifetime. He made several voyages to 
England as the agent of the colony to conduct difficult matters 
with the home government, a task for which his advantages of 
birth, his personal appearance and his courtliness, as well as 
his qualities of mind, especially fitted him. On one of these 
visits he Avas imprisoned for seventeen weeks in the Fleet prison 
through the influence of Archbishop Laud because as a layman 
he had taught publicly in the church, and because he had offici- 
ated at marriages, notwithstanding the fact that the colony had 
no minister. In 1635, while on one of these visits, he suc- 
ceeded in disconcerting a plot to abolish the self government 
enjoyed by the colonists. He was, in contrast with the men of 
his time, unusually tolerant. When Roger Williams, the 
apostle of liberty, had been forced to leave Massachusetts and 
had been reduced to want, Winslow gave him advice and money. 
Williams said: "It pleased the Father of Mercies to touch 
many hearts with relentings, among whom that great and pious 
soul, Mr. Winslow, melted, and he kindly furnished me at Prov- 
idence, and put a piece of gold into the hands of my wife, for 
our supply." Winslow was three times governor of the colony, 
in 1635, 1636, and 1644. He went to England for the last 
time in 1649 when he was influential in the formation of the 
Society for Propagating the Gospel among the Indians of I^ew 
England, and John Eliot began his successful work as apostle 
to the Indians. 

Winslow's worth and accomplishments were so appreciated 
by the parties now in power in England that he found no oppor- 
tunity to return to the colony. He Avas appointed a Commisr- 
sioner to determine the value of English ships destroyed by the 



84 

King of Denmark, and when Cromwell sent Admiral Penn and 
Gen, Yenables to execute an expedition planned against the 
Spanish in the West Indies, Winslow was appointed at the head 
of three Commissioners to superintend and direct operations. 
The commission w^as appointed, it is supposed, partly because 
many of the officers were suspected of loyalty to the Stuarts. 
The commanders disagreed in temper and views and would not 
submit to the control of the Commissioners. The expedition 
against San Domingo ended in disaster, but the fleet soon after 
captured Jamaica. It was on the way to Jamaica while suffer- 
ing from the chagrin of defeat that Winslow was attacked by a 
climatic fever of which he died. May 8, 1655, before the fleet 
reached Jamaica. His body was committed to the deep with 
the honors of war, the fleet firing a salute of forty-two guns. 

Palfrey says in his History of New England: "After Brad- 
ford — or after Bradford and Brewster — the first colony owed 
to no man so much as to Edward Winslow. Always intelli- 
gent, generous, confident and indefatigable, he was undoubt- 
edly tnisted for any service, at home or abroad, which the infant 
settlement happened to require For foreign em- 
ployment his better birth and breeding gave him advantages 
over his fellow emigrants. Among the gentlemen of the British 
Parliament Winslow moved as one of themselves ; and his ad- 
dress and winning qualities, no less than his sagacity and dili- 
gence, justified the choice, which, when he went abroad for the 
last time, the larger colony overlooked her own statesmen to 

make Cromwell saw at once the worth of the 

honest, religious, capable, strenuous envoy from N^orth America, 
and took care never to lose his services while he lived, which was 
for nine years after he left Plymouth for the last time." 

By his second wife, Susanna Fuller, the widow of William 
White, he had a daughter Elizabeth. Josiah, the only other 
child by this marriage who reached maturity, was afterward a 
Magistrate, governor of Pl^miouth, and in 1675, in the war with 
the Indians, he was the Commander-in-Chief of all the colonial 
forces in ISTew England. Before his departure from ISTew 



85 

England Governor Edward Winslow had made a settlement on. a 
valuable tract of land in Marshfield to which he gave the name 
of "Careswell." This place has since been famous as the resi- 
dence of Daniel Webster. 

Elizabeth^, dau, of Gov. Edward and Susanna, m. (1) Gil- 
bert or Kobert Brooks and (2) C'apt. George Curwon of Salem.* 

A number of authorities make Elizabeth Winslow, dau. of 
Gov. Edward Winslow, the wife of Gilbert Brooks, among them 
Samuel Deane in his History of Scituate, the Holtons in their 
extensive ^Yinslow Memorial of two large volumes, and Nahum 
^^([itchell in the History of Bridgewater. Thomas in Memorials 
of Marshfield, Mass., says that Elizabeth Winslow was married 
j&rst to "Gilbert or Robert Brooks." On the other hand Davis 
in his Landmrn-ks of Plymouth says she m. Robert Roaks. Sav- 
age in one place gives Robert Brooks and in another (on the au- 
thority of Deane) Gilbert Brooks, stating, however, that this is 
disputed by some. 

The New England Historical and Genealogical Register (vol. 
4, p. 30), states that Elizabeth Winslow's first husband was Rob- 
ert Brooks^ by whom she had a son John, and her second hus- 
band was George Curwen of Salem. Wyman's Cliarlestown 
says John Brooks, d. 25 Dec, 1687, a son of Mrs. Curwin of 
Salem. Mr. George A. Dary of Boston, who has recently given 
much time to this question, believes he has proven that Eliza- 
beth, the wife of Gilbert Brooks, was not the dau. of Governor 
Winslow, and if the Gilbert Brooks of Rehoboth is the Gilbert 
Brooks of Scitiiate and Marshfield, it is difficult to see how he 
can be in error. 

The wall of Governor Josiah Winslow (son of Gov. Edw. 
W^inslow) proved in 1681 {Old Colony Records, vol. J^, pt. 2, 
p. 115), gives his "loving sister Elizabeth Corwin a pocket

"to my kinsman John Brook, son of my said sister." Now the 
Rehoboth records give the date of burial of Elizabeth, wife of 
Gilbert Brooks, as July 17, 1687, though they also give the 
date of his remarriage to Mrs. Sarah Carpenter as Jan. 18, 
1687, before the death of his first wife. There may be an error 
in one of these dates. In any case Gilbert himself appears to 
have been living at the time the will of Josiah Winslow was 
written, hence his wife could not be Elizabeth Corwin, the dau. 
of Governor Winslow.

The Richmond family had its origin in Brittany, France. 
The family lineage has been traced from John Richmond, the 
American ancestor, to Roaldus Musard de Richmond, one of the 
most powerful leaders who accompanied William the Conqueror 
to England.* The line of English ancestors given is also that 
of the Ashton-Keynes and other Wiltshire Richmonds: the 
former for five generations bore the alias of Webb, first assumed 
by William Richmond about 1430 when he married Alice, the 
daughter and heiress of Thomas Webb of Draycott, Wiltshire,

England. Francis Thackeray, the uncle of William Make- 
peace Thackeray, who descended from the "Wiltshire Rich- 
monds, compiled the records of the ancestors of the Ashton- 
Keynes Richmonds.* 

John\ the eldest son of Henry, alias Webb^^, was an officer 
of distinction during the English civil wars. He was b. in 
1594 and was the American ancestor of the Richmonds. He 
came from xlshton-Keynes, Wilts., to America probably in 
1635 to Saco, Me. He was one of the purchasers of Taunton 
in 1637 and o\\Tied six shares. He was probably m. before 
coming to America, but nothing is known of his wife. He was 
aAvay from Taunton much of his life and is known to have been 
at l^e^vport and other place!s, but returned to Taunton and d. 
there Mch. 20, 1664, aged 70. He was one of the Commis- 
sioners, for N^ewport, of the Court of Commissioners, held at 
Portsmouth in 1656. He took the oath of fidelity at Taunton 
in 1640. The family were large lando-wners in the easterly 
part of the town and gave that section the name Richmondville 
which it still bears. 

JoHN^, son of John^, was b. probably in Ashton-Keynes 
about 1627, before his father came to America. He m. in 1641 
Abigail Rogers, dau. of John Rogers of Duxbury. She d. Aug. 1, 
1727, aged eighty six, and is buried at Taunton. As this would 
make her but thirteen years of age when Johns's dau., Mary, 
was bom, it has been supposed by some that there was a former 
wife. Deeds of land show that Johns's son, Joseph, was son of 
Abigail, hence probably that the earlier wife died about 1662 
and that he m. Abigail Rogers early in 1663. On Sept. 28, 
1671, Wm. Brenton, Jas. Walker (See p. 79), Wm. Harvey, 
Walter Dean and John Richmond purchased of King Philip and 
his Sachems the tract of land which included Taunton. John 
Richmond was at other times employed to purchase land of the 
Indians, was constable, member of the town council, commis- 
sioner, and surveyor. His residence at "Neck of Land" was

three-fourths of a mile from the "green" and with his wife he 
is buried there. In Mch., 1677, he was a distributer of Taun- 
ton's apportionment of the ''Irish Charity" sent from Dublin, 
Ireland, to "distressed sufferers" by King Philip's War. He 
was a very important man of the town and on nearly every com- 
mittee on purchase, division, and settlement of land. He d. 
Oct. 7, 1715. 

Sarah ^, the eighth child of John^ (and daughter of Abigail 
Rogers), was b. at Taunton Feb. 7, 1670-1. She m. Oct. 6, 
1699, James Walker, son of James and Bathsheba (Brooks) 
Walker. She d. 'Nov. 27, 1727. 

Continuation. — Sarah Walker, Sarah Leonard, Sarah Byram, 
Sarah Dean, Sarah Weston. 

Thomas^ was one of the "Mayflower" Pilgrim Fathers and 
the eighteenth signer of the Compact in the cabin of the "May- 
flower," where he placed his name immediately beneath that of 
Francis Cooke. His son Joseph came out with him on the 
"Mayflower." Bradford says of Thomas: 

"He was one of the forty-one persons who signed the Constitutions of 
government on board the Mayflower, and was one of the Pilgrim 
Fathers. His son Joseph came with him, is married, and has six chil- 
dren. The other children came over afterward, including John, mar- 
ried, and have many children. Thomas died ^n 1621." 

The sons Josej^h and John subsequently removed to Duxbury, 
the annex of Plymouth, where were Standish, Brerwster, Soule, 
and other important men of the colony. In Aug., 1643, their 
names appear in the list of men of Duxbury able to bear arms. 
Joseph was a Lieutenant and a military man of importance in 
the colony. 

JoHN^, son of Thomas^, was b. . He followed his 

father to Plymouth probably either in the "Fortune" (1621) 
or the "Ann" (1623), and resided in Duxbury. He proposed 



89 

to take lip freedom Mch. 5, 1638-9. April 16, 1639, he m. Ann 
Churchman (perhaps dan. of Hngh Chnrchman' of Lynn, 
1640), hence probably quite a young child when the '^May- 
flower" sailed. His will,* dated Aug. 26, 1691, and proved 
Sept. 20, 1692, contains a paragi^aph as follows: 

5. To his daughter Abigail Richmond, "that twenty shillings a year 
which is my due for four score acres of land which I sold to my two 
grandsons, Joseph Richmond and Edward Richmond."

IFn flDemoriam. 



aimira Barnce flDaban, 

Almira Barnes Malian was the youngest child of Rev. Dr. 
Asa Mahan, President of Oberlin College. Her mother, Maiy 
Dix Mahan, was a member of the celebrated Dix family. Myra, 
as she was called by her friends, was born at Oberlin, January 
11, 181(3. She came to Green Bay, Wis., in the fall of 1866 
with her sisters and Miss Gillett, where they established a very 
successful academy. Myra was married August 4, 1869, to 
A. W. Kimball. Probably no woman who ever lived in Green 
Bay impressed herself more ])ositively and lovingly on the entire 
connnunity than she. .Vhvays devoted to church and charitable 
w^ork of some kind, she will long be remembered by many Avliom 
the Avorld Avill never hear of or know. 

"Blessing she was, God made her so, 
Nor did she ever chance to know 
That aught were easier than to bless." 

Mrs. Kimball organized the Shakespeare Club; and was one 
of the founders of the Philharmonic Society, being chosen for 
the part, of Queen in the cantata of Esther, the Beautiful Queeai, 
the first concert presented by that Society. She was a woman 
of unusual comeliness and beauty ; of strong and lovely charac- 
ter, and was warmly and tenderlv beloved by a very wide circle 
of friends and admirers. Her husband and two sons, Themlore 
Mahan Kindjall and Alonzo Myron Kimball, survived her.

Xinu9 Bonner Sale/ 

Linus Bonner Sale, youngest child of John F. and Jane 
Grey Sale, was born at Evansville, Rock county. Wis., on May 
Y, 1844. The year following his birth, in February, 1845, his 
father, a young man of thirty years, died, leaving liis widow 
with four sons to rear and educate. How fittingly she was 
equipped to fulfill the difficult task and how faithfully it was 
performed, is borne out in the lives of these sons, all of whom 
through the inspiration of a loving, cultured mother and in 
the blessed experience which comes through years of toil and 
economy, achieved more than average education, each one en- 
tering a profession. Richard K. is a physician at Colona, 
111., and Joseph H., of Moline, 111., who has since died, was of 
the same profession. Judge John W. Sale, of Janesville, Wis., 
and Linus B. Sale, chose that of the legal fraternity. 

Mr. Sale's early boyhood was spent in the vicinity of Evans- 
Tille ; he worked on a farm, attended the district school, and 
later the academy at Evansville. 

In the spring of 18G4, when the call came for troops for 
the 100 days' service, this young man of 20 years responded, 
enlisting in the 40th Wisconsin regiment. Col. W. A. Ray in 
command. During the time of this service he was with liis 
regiment in the vicinity of Memphis, Tenn. 

Soon after the close of the war, Mr. Sale entered the Univer- 
sity of Wisconsin, graduating in 1870 with a class of twenty, 
receiving the degree of Ph. B. He then entered the law 
department, graduating in 1872, after which he went to Bea,- 
trice, 'Neb., entering into partnership with S. W. Colby (after- 
wards assistant attorney general of the United States), in the 
practice of law. He remained at Beatrice until March, 1874, 
when, upon the solicitation of Chas. E. Vroman, he came to 
Green Bay and foniied a law partnership with Mr. Vroman, 
which continued without interruption until January 1, 1891. 



*This account is adapted from an obituary notice published in the 
Green Bay State Gazette. 



97 

On October C, 1880, Mr. Sale was united in marriage to 
Miss Sara Kimball, vonngest child of Deacon Alonzo Kim- 
ball of Green Bay, They made their home with Mrs. Sale's 
parents until the following May, when they took possession of 
the home on Monroe avenue where they afterward resided. 

Mr. Sale, while a resident of Green Bay, was a member 
of the Republican State Central Committee of his congi*es- 
sional district. He was also on the staff of Governor Smith 
during his last term of office. From 1879 to 1883 he was a 
member of the Board of Regents of the State University, a 
valued member, and for six years continuously, up to July, 
1891, w^as President of the School Board of Green Bay. 

It is learned from a friend wdio knew him intimately through 
many years, that Mr. Sale as a student in college Avas a hard 
worker, popular with his fellows though disinclined to indulge 
in the pranks of college men. As a lawyer he was careful 
and painstaking, seeking the quieter lines of practice rather 
than the field of active litigation. He was a shrewd business 
man and almost invariably successful in the management of 
business affairs. His sagacity in this respect brought him many 
clients who trusted him with most implicit confidence in the 
management of their business matters, his promptness, method- 
ical habits, and business acumen well meriting their confidence. 
As a man he was gentle and quiet, sincere and earnest, and 
to this was added intelligence, culture, and refinement of char- 
acter. He possessed a vein of humor, which in earlier years 
took form in droll sayings that from their wit and originality 
still linger in the memory of those who shared them. 

Mr. Sale possessed heroic traits of character, as the closing 
moments of his life attest. On August 10, 1892, in his heroic 
effort to save liis two sons, Richard Weston and Robert Kim- 
ball Sale, from drowning, he lost his own life; and in one 
short moment three lives w^ent out, leaving desolate a happy 
tome, and a pitiful break in a loving family circle. 

His devotion to his home and its inmates stands revealed in 
the tcstimonv "that he loved his home and all within it as

few men do." Altliougli reserved in manner lie formed strong 
ties of friendship and lie was very tender to little children, 
calling forth thereby their affection in a large degree. It 
was true of him that in his dealings with '"these little ones" 
he caught truly the Master's spirt and won the full measure 
of the blessing which it procures. 

"No better summary of the character of the deceased can 
be given than that presented by the Rev. H. W. Thompson at 
the funeral services. He said, as nearly as can be recalled, 
after speaking of the three beautiful lives that had gone out: 
"Mr. Sale, as a citizen, was upright and honorable, and I have 
yet to hear anyone say but that Mr. Sale in his business trans- 
actions was the soul of honor, the personification of integrity. 
His life was a reserved life; but, as a life that is reserved in 
manner is usually deep and runs quietly, we cannot judge it 
readily, the casual observer cannot fathom it. There are 
thoughts, precepts, principles, emotions, hopes, not seen by 
men, which are not on the surface butt are known to God ; that 
make for the welfare — the peace of the soul."

These bovs, the one eleven, the other eight years of age, were 
drowned together with their father on the evening of August 
10th, 1892. The boys were bathing in the Fox river, the father 
meanwhile watching from the shore. Though no one witnessed 
this sad calamity, which broke up a happy family and darkened 
the lives of the two surviving members, it is evident from 
cries which were heard that the venturesome younger lad got 
beyond his depth and that the brave little Richard went to 
his assistance, the father following from his greater distance 
on the bank. Further than this all is conjecture, but the lo- 
cality is a treacherous one for bathers and it is probable that 
Mr. Sale was borne down by the double burden. 

Richard, who thus lost his life in an attempt to rescue his 
brother, was a very manly and self reliant boy, and on more 
than one occasion his watchful care of the younger brother 
saved Robert from harm. Richard was an unusually bright 
scholar, as was shown by his passing directly from the 5th to 
the 7th grades in school, and notwithstanding this seeming 
handicap, by his receiving at the completion of the 7th grade 
the highest standings of any pupil of that grade in the city. 

Robert was an unusually gentle and Avinsome little fellow. 
He assumed a friend in everyone and made acquaintance with 
all sorts of people. Unlike his cautious elder l)rother he was 
impetuous and venturesome. He had a markedly imselfish and 
helpful spirit, which with his assumption of friendship in oth- 
ers, won the hearts of all who knew him. The Green Bay State 
Gazette of Augiist 17, 1892, says of the little boys: 

"And these happy little brothers, whose birthday frolics were 
not yet ended, let go their hold on life together, as if even in 
that other existence there could not be more of blessedness, 
if it must prove for them a divided one. There comes to mem- 
ory in peculiar force, recalled by their latest moments, an in-

cident of tlieir nursery days, when tlie older baby saved the 
younger one from harm by fire, receiving a bum himself. Upon 
symjiathetic questioning his brave young lips confessed : "Yes, 
it hurts, but I don't care, because Robert isn't burnt." Fulfill- 
ing the promise of this tender, self-sacrificing devotion in the 
years since, we can now believe that into this last peril each 
entered cheei-fulh^ for the other's sake. 

"Manly, self-reliant Richard and winsome little Robert! 

"The complement of each other's needs, we knew you in your 
sweet young boyhood, and under and beyond all the heartache 
of our o'ershadowing loneliness, we rejoice in your continuing 
and perfected companionship. 

"Our precious boys ! God only measures our surpassing 
love for them and He does it by His own. 

"Why do we call them 'lost' 
Because we miss them from our outward road? 
God's unseen angel, on our pathway crossed, 
Looked on us all, and, loving them the most, 
Straightway relieved them of life's weary load." •

aiice IRutb Sale. 

The life of Alice Sale which ijassed out just as she was round- 
ing into womanhood was of singular sweetness and beauty. 
She was born at Green Bay, Wis., where when she was but five 
years old, her father and her two brothers were drowned to- 
gether while bathing in the Fox liiiver. The great shock 
of this atliiction and the desolation which it wrought she was 
then too young to adequately compreheud. She realized only 
the mother's trouble and strove to cheer her by saying she would 
take care of her. Childish promise though it was, it was ap- 
parently never forgotten, for she seemed always to feel a sense 
of personal responsibility in shielding her mother. 

For the next five years her life flowed on like that of other 
children of her age. With a child's healthy enjoyment of games 
she entered into them with real abandon, but exercised thought- 
fulness and tact beyond her years to avoid giving pain by care- 
less word or deed. She had a brightness of humor and an 
unusual quickness in repartee. Her uncle Weston, of whom she 
was very fond, took pleasure in bringing out her naive ex- 
pressions and clever responses. After the tragic death of her 
papa and the little boys she was much in her uncle's home. His 
fondness for her is reflected in the following lines which con- 
clude a Christmas greeting in verse sent her in 1900: 

"I pray that Knights of Holy Grail, 
And all good angels may avail, 
To shield from sorrow Alice Sale, 
To crown with blessings Alice Sale." 

Courteous to everyone, to her friends she gave herself with- 
out reserve, and her loyalty to them recked not of consequences. 
Her step-father she adopted at once, and the bond of love and 
sympathy between them could hardly have been stronger had 
the same blood flowed in their veins. Her friendship for ani- 
mals was of the warmest and the slightest cruelty to them would 
bring tears to' her eyes. 



102 

Her mind was singularly pure and free from any taint of 
coarseness. Words or deeds which were lacking- in delicacy or 
refinement gave her great offense. The happy blending in her 
of a childish spirit with a mature refinement and tactfulness, 
led more than one to speak of her as the child woman. 

She early developed an aptitude for drawing and painting, 
as she did also for writing stories. She was also the best of 
listeners and would recount a story with much detail after but 
once hearing it. 

During the last years of her life her health was not always 
good and she was oblige*.! to be away from school so much as 
to fall somewhat behind in her classes. This troubled her 
greatly and when a continuation of languor and sleeplessness 
at night gave rise to the fear that some insidious disease might 
be fastening itself upon her, and it was recommended that she 
give up school for a time, her pleading prevailed over wiser 
councils and she was allowed to go to a part of the sessions. 
In December, 1900, an affection of the middle ear developed 
which did not yield to the ordinary treatment, and in January 
she took to her bed with a high fever which did not abate until 
the end came. The story of her last illness is one of heroic 
courage and fortitude. Without complaint she bore the suf- 
fering for six weeks, losing nothing of her sweetness of tem- 
per and unruffied calm. In the long sleepless nights of suffer- 
ing she would sometimes be heard to sing her favorite hymn, 
"How gentle God's commands," which had been sung at the 
funeral of her gTandmother, Sarah Kimball, and at that of the 
father and little brothers. It had been likewise the favorite 
hymn of her brother Robert. 

The anniversary of the birthday of her dearest school friend 
came before she had thought to provide a birthday remembrance 
and it was characteristic of her that she forgot for a moment 
all the pain and weakness of the past weeks to blame herself 
for this neglect. In other ways her friends left her no oppor- 
tunity to forget them and her room was always filled with a 
wealth of roses and other beautiful flowers. 



103 

One major operation having been performed and a second 
one determined upon, it became necessary for her mother to 
tell Alice its serious nature and the possibility that she might 
not survive it. The old instinct to shield her mother was still 
uppermost as she calmly replied: "I am not afraid to die, 
mamma, but God won't tal^e me away from you," and with 
great fortitude she suppressed her feelings until her mother had 
left the room. Following the second operation a change for 
the worse set in and she passed away on the 5th of March, 
leaving behind the inspiration of a beautiful life and a noble 
courage and fortitude which triumphed even over weakness and 
suffering. She was laid to rest beside her father and brothers 
in the family lot at Green Bay.
